Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are reportedly considering a move to the United States as the fallout from Prince Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein continues to affect the Royal Family. Sources claim the couple are seeking a fresh start across the Atlantic to escape ongoing scrutiny.
The princess and her sister Eugenie were left 'mortified' by the controversy, with documents released by the US Department of Justice indicating they had more contact with Epstein than previously understood. A royal insider said staying in Britain risks Beatrice becoming a 'sitting duck' as further revelations about Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson emerge.
Mr Mozzi, whose interior design firm Banda recorded a turnover of £2.2 million in 2024, has been spending significant time in the US promoting his business. He has visited Los Angeles, Miami, and Palm Beach, and was pictured on Fisher Island. The source noted that his booming US business makes a move increasingly likely.
The couple have two daughters together, and Beatrice is stepmother to Mr Mozzi's son Wolfie. Neither Beatrice nor Eugenie is keen on their scandal-hit mother moving in with them, another factor pushing Beatrice towards a life abroad. Sarah Ferguson's difficulties deepened this week when York councillors voted to strip her of the Freedom of the City honour.
